Hi,
Got 2 questions about the Virgin Mobile CDMA HTC one V. First fm radio. It doesn't come with an fm radio app or some reason, can you obtain an HTC's version of the fm radio? Second, we know that the One V has 4gigs of memory but it has less than 1gb of usable memory for apps. What happened to the other 3 gigs and is there a way to unlock most of the unused internal memory? Thanks.
for the second one -3 gb is used by android system u cant unlock that
Mine came with FM radio. stock virgin mobile CDMA bought from radioshack

Couldn't find an answer for this question sorry. I am thinking of buying the Desire HD A9191 but I want to make sure I will get at least 3G here in San Diego on T-Mobile. Thanks in advance for some assistance.
Sorry but no. You'll only be able to manage EDGE. the sensation 4g is right around the corner I would suggest that.

desire hd a9191 model quad band 3G
Actually I believe this specific desire HD will get 3g on tmous they claim the a9191 model to be quad band 3G not just quad band GSM... and also say works with all carriers T-Mobile is listed so I would imagine u *#*#4636#*#* and then hit menu select bands then T-Mobile US then the correct radio and or ril...T-Mobile EU is in list too... it may depend on where you are located, I'm in DC and I knew someone who got H 3G on euro milestone on T-Mobile using that method and that phone has the 900/2100mhz, I held a sensation today and it has less ram and is 100% plastic and the screen is narrower... I'm with thus Guy on an a9191 Desire HD with the full unibody aluminum housing.. the phone is so nice I went and got the att version unlocked so its an inspire 2G now and am rocking edge (the E is such an ugly site someone make a theme that replaces edge icon with 4G just to trick my mind lol) just cause its worth the trade offphone if u wondering why i think this device rockd u probly have only used on sense ui rom its all about great its the combo of a perfectly tuned CM7.1 with this amazing device... but yea trying to get some confirmed info also on the a9191 version ofcourse ill get it and it will end up working but then some **** like att will own T-Mobile then and the stupid inspire will get 3G/4G anyway... why is it that the phone u want never offered by your carrier... if someone can confirm this please do thanks
This model is not quadband 3g. T-Mobile USA runs on1700/2100 for 3g . This model uses 900/2100. So their is a chance you might be able to pick up 3g, but it depends what frequency they are using in your specific area. If they use 1700 in SD then your stuck on edge if they use 2100 then you'll get 3g.
But like I recommended the sensation 4g is right around the corner. With that your guaranteed 3g comparability plus a better screen, dual core

I automatically shot down the quadband 3G stated on this a9191 model desire HD... but in several sited places to purchase the phone it clearly states quadband 3G not quadband GSM like everyother device... it also says worldwide 3G will work on any carrier...
The sesnsation is not a worthy replacement for this device... like I said above its all plastic yes its dual core but has less ram... ram is much more needed then a second core when the single is overclocked to 1.5ghz its stupid fast and will use half the battery that the sensation will... the screen is narrowed and stretched on sensation... I prefer the square brick style of the dhd... sensation may be out in a day or too but if not getting contract or upgrade price on it why bother if dhd a9191 will get hsdpa on tmous... sensation is $550 off contract dhd $400 to $550 and all the development is done for dhd already... no waiting for working perm root s-off and engineering bootloader... I know where I am in DC I've seen a euro 900/2100 milestone get hsdpa here... so I'm good even if it turns out to not be quad band 3G.. but have clearly read that this specific dhd is able to pull hsdpa from any carrier worldwide... its unbranded and sold as unlocked only by websites there is not carrier tied to this device.... yes in the past getting 3G in us and worldwide was not an option but think how long could that remain as a worldwide industry standard... there's phones listed comming out for T-Mobile that show both T-Mobile and att 3g bands on a single device... clearly as technology keeps up at its current rate its not hard to believe that this day may have finally come upon us with woldwide 3G... ofcourse there's no advertising for these devices as then carriers wouldn't be able to sell contracts.... think about the GSM evo 3D comming soon.... wtf is that all about and what good would it be if it didn't have this same technology that is supposedly wrapped up in this very similar desire HD of the specific a9191 part# no other phone on any of the sites selling that model say will get 3G worldwide on any carrier T-Mobile aswell as at&t and many others are listed... and I also knew someone that had a UK tmobile G1 and came to visit here in states and upon getting off plane he had edge connection.. so called T-Mobile and was told to switch to US 3G Band by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and he did this and his UK G1 dream connected on 3G... so if u like the inspire 4G, the Thunderbolt, desire HD, evo 4G or. 3D because of the physical appearance or heavy/ solid/metal feel then u will not like the 100% plastic htc sensation... yes that's a nice feature of sensation to be able to change housing as fast as removing batt cover so u will not need any protection as if u drop sensation and screw it up u will be able to buy new entire exterior housing for under $20 on eBay....the only thing giving the sensation any wieght is the battery and the thick contoured tempered digitizer glass... it is not a worthy substitute for a nand flashed HD2 that's been done properly... and the stock sense 3.0 with all apps killed on sensation gives only 113mb ram.. that cpus will not be able to make up for that serious lack of ram... it is not 768mb like dhd or tbolt it must be like 620mb cause its only displaying Max in 530mb range so once again the pre spec sheets lie or the ppl reviewing these devices are retarded and can't take a minute to download a simple app that displays the actual hardware specs... its ridiculous... this isn't rocket science anyone reviewing a device for a forum should have atleast 1/2 a brain to catch these hyped up inaccurate pre release guess specs... its bull**** u put 1gb ram in your PC it displays 1024mb ram so how come when they say we have 768mb ram on phone it actually shows 620mb wtf? Here's screen shot of my inspire 4G Max available ram... I used same method to check sensation and it shows 530mb so how do both devices have 768mb.... (yes its an HTC inspire despite the moto blur look) http://db.tt/KQWMtT7
Maybe I answered my own question on the ram discrepency says now in free memory widget maximum amount of mem for users applications... I'm gonna guess that the missing 148mb is dedicated entirely to the system rom and apps and is never displayed... still doesn't really make much sense though cause if 238mb is pre designated to system on htc sensation then what is using up over 400mb after closing all background apps with atk? Sense UI 3.0 has gotta be one of the heaviest stock roms ever... junk .....if u want **** to look like sense use cm7.1 and make it look like sense or blur whatever... no excuse or good reason at all to use any rom that is not vanilla or cm based as your just killing your own android experience that is ofcourse if its an option for your device.... HD2 CM7.1 runs 100 times better then sensation on sense 3.0 and gets about same download speeds....hd2 little slower on speed test... 6000kbps vs 7000kbps and now that rom manager supports HD2 that was last feature needed to be equal to an official android device... if u have T-Mobile and want a fully modable HTC 4.3" there's your device.... HTC HD2 with nand flashed CM7.1 even with less ram then sensation has 150mb more free avail then sensation with no Widgets on screens.,..
Mardsta or whatever u answered dude first with no u will only get edge period.. then after hearing what I had to say u have changed your answer to yes maybe depending on your area... so r u just pissing in the wind? Clearly u have not actually taken the a9191 Device and tried to get 3G on tmous with it... so ur just guessing away and passing it off as fact.... if you do not know the answer 100% for sure don't act like it as it only make finding the correct info that much harder...
I actually did read both your responses even though long winded. In part you were right about my first answer. I had forgotten that in some places tmo will use the 2100 frequencies. They tend to use the 1700. Simple mistake.
I have used this model in question in the Los Angeles area. Not once did I pick up 3g on att or T-Mobile.
As to the sensation I offered it as a suggestion. You may not like it " maybe the open will. So get off your high horse. The dual core is actually more effiicient and battery friendly. Its the beauty of progress.

U r fulla **** u never tried with that model desire hd a9191
Wow, didn't mean to start such a pissing match guys. I ended up getting the Sensation and I love it. Who needs 3G, I now have 4G. This phone is amazing!

My bro just scouped one up (a9191) on Craig's list NYC and previous owner said would get 3G in queens but not Manhattan... hopefully not fulla****... currently trying everything possible to get it to work in NJ right outside Manhattan.... well see what happens...
Just wondering with the dhd having 1.5gb and the inspire having 4gb, is the 2.5gb hidden on the dhd in a partition or is it a totally different set up.I know the inspire runs on different bands and is 4g but wondered about the memory.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
the telus dhd and inspire 4g are both A9192 devices and are identcal hardware wise (other than the at& model having at&t on the casing where it would otherwise say htc in chrome)
its not 4g, only 3.5g (hspa)
there is no wimax or lte capability with the phone (4g)
the internal memory in both is 1.5gb just like the A9191 everyone else in the world has. another lie on behalf of at&t is how it called the 4gb sd card that comes with the phone its 'internal memory'
hope that clears it up
Ohh so its the same phone just different bands. At&t don't know the difference between a memory card and internal memory then. I was getting excited then I thought it was 4gb internal and then a sd slot. Also of places say it is capable of upto 36gb of total memory too.... good selling ploy that
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
ya, AT&T likes to bend the truth...
but all carriers do, because even through the wimax and lte tech falls into the 4G category (basics of it anyways) its still waaaay to slow to even be able to be considered true 4G (100mb/s)
and technically it is 4mb Internal memory, because the SD card does sit 'inside' the phone. lmao
Will the HTC One X International work one the HSPA+ network of Bell Mobility in Canada?
When I looked at the specs of the Rogers model I was disappointed by the fact that it had only 16gb of storage and no provision for adding more. My phone is my main media player now and I don't like the idea that I will be eating bandwidth trying to sync it with Dropbox all of the time because I am out of local storage space.
Yes it works. Im using mine on Virgin Mobile which is the same as Bell.
How is it treating you? Does it work on both bands?
Been using mine since April 4 and havent had any reception issues. It works perfectly. It will work with all carriers except Wind & Mobilicity.
Thanks for the info. I want to get this model. I was hoping the Rogers one had the high storage count but I guess not. Tegra 3 Vs S4 Snapdragon wasn't much of an issue to me personally, both are amazing processors, but the killer for me was small storage space.
16gb for me is bare minimum especially if theres no memory expansion. And even if its 16gb, the available memory will probably be like 12gb. (My 16gb galaxy nexus has 13gb free space)
Even if my phone is 32gb the free space available is 25gb.
I wouldnt really bother about LTE, im very satisfied with the speeds i get with Virgin. I was with Bell before and they have the same speeds.
Tegra3/S4 - Both are very debatable performance wise.
I got this phone for its camera. And im very satisfied on its performance.
Yeah... that was about what I think... for the past eight months I've rocked my Sensation, and loved every minute of it, though keeping a weather eye to see if anything better is coming out and every time I turn and shake my head. The Galaxy Nexus was promising... up until they mentioned its camera sensor, 5mp... what were they thinking!
Hello,
I bought my HTC One V in January this year and a few month back I bought an iPhone 4 and gave my HTC to my dad. It was running MyOne without any problems until recently when emails/facebook wasn't syncing or giving notifications. I decided to just flash Sprongle on (He owns a Nexus 7 so I thought he'd appreciate the similar UI etc), but after I turn the wi-fi off the problem returns. I get a 'No Internet Connection' where the mobile network name should be when I pull down the notification drawer.
I have the correct kernel flashed so that can't be the problem so I'm pretty stumped. I've tried a few SIM cards, one of which had the same problem and one worked fine. (The one that worked fine is on the same network as the original SIM- Virgin Mobile).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Curtis
Is your phone CDMA (primoc)? Shpongle is for gsm (primou)

My device is a GSM PrimoU. I think it may be a problem with his network, but I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks for the reply.
I had problem before but somehow is not about network, but hov's circuit board is broken.

I am using a HTC Verizon 10 has unlocked bootloader, soff and run rom us unlock 2.41.617.
However, the network connection of the wifi is very weak. Just one door is almost impossible to watch Youtube, speedtest download / upload is only 0.5Mb / s. I have tried to run ruu to android 8 version 3.16.617 but still can not improve.
I know the ability to catch the wifi of the HTC 10 is not good, but previously I used two HTC 10 Tmobile version, they are better wifi connection than the Verizon is using a lot, the current HTC 10 is really bad.
Now, what should I do with my HTC 10? Should I run ruu about the original Verizon rom? Or is it a hardware failure?
sorry my english not good
wew, someone help me pls
I'm using an HTC very much like yours, Verizon model, S-offed and running unlocked firmware. Yeah, the wifi reception isn't great but while my phone is the weakest device on my network devices with better antennas still start to peter out where my phone's connection drops off. It may just be that you've got a phone with a bum wi-fi antenna.
